EPISODE 9: Transforming health professionals into health science educators - Shirra Moch

Shirra Moch's passion for working with health professionals, as they strive to become health science educators, is clear as she discusses her journey with our host Dr Paula Barnard-Ashton, "The concept of education has its own body of knowledge and its own theories and skills, and in order to be a health sciences teacher that can really encourage students to learn, you do have to know something about how it is that students learn." In this episode Shirra Moch, acting head of the Centre for Health Science Education, shares how her early adoption of a blended learning approach in her teaching triggered her shift towards helping lecturers become better teachers, the unique purpose of the postgraduate programmes offered in the CHSE, the research into how students learn, and what lies ahead.
